Corpus Christi Church

HHL Architects was engaged to provide design and engineering services for the restoration of this historic church located in Buffalo's East Side. The cornerstone of the Romanesque Revival church was laid in 1907. Built of Onondaga limestone faced with red Medina sandstone, Corpus Christi was designed by noted Buffalo architects Schmill and Gould.

The slate roof was completely replaced in-kind with custom copper gutters and flashings included in the scope of work.

Clock/bell tower masonry restoration is currently underway on the twin spires topped by gold crosses that overlook Buffalo's Central Terminal and Broadway Market.

All work was completed under the auspices of the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation and funded, in part, by NYS EPF grant program. The project is in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties.
